Ingredients

Rolls

  • 7 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk warm 100-110 degrees
  • 1 1/2 cup sweet potato mashed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp instant yeast
  • 6 eggs whisked 2 tbsp reserved
  • 9 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs and set aside 2 tbsp for wash. Place the milk, sugar, butter, and yeast in the bowl of a mixer with a dough hook attachment. Mix until combined. Add the potato and the remaining eggs. Mix until smooth. Add the flour and mix for 8-10 minutes. The dough will be slightly sticky. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover for 1-1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment and oil lightly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled surface. Weigh the dough into 1 1/2 ounce pieces, shape into rolls, and place on the sheet pan 1/2 inch apart. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes. While the rolls are proofing, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the rolls with the reserved egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool, pull apart, and serve.
